I suppose I smashed up my old calibra for something to do
if it looks alright once wraped i might just leave it, dont really know right now
what i wanted to do this week end was get down the scrapyard to get a engine mount and the ruuber mounts for the radiator, but with all this rain i didnt like my chances crawling around a muddy yard wrestling with ****ty old vauxhalls :/

I was in the scrap yard chrismas eve at 8.00am as I dropped my mum at work and it's just along the road. It was freezing and I was close to the mud. Last time I saw a nova at any yards was 6 years ago
there was a nova in looms months and months ago now, was a shame to see it there as other then rusty wings and doors (easily replaceable) it was solid

Most cars nowadays are not all smashed up like they used to be
no work today as Ive had a water leak and been waiting about for a plumber, never mind
decided to have a go at straighting out the bonnet, so i gave the larger bulges a good tapping with a hammer with a block of wood held on the other side which got some of them out, after that i started using my paint/rust stripper on the drill and that seemed to force the smaller bulges down (weather it has something to do with the heat it was producing i dont know)

at this point i had to really fight the urge to just go over it all with some clear coat and leave it with this rough and ready/rat look, but i decided against it gave the bare metal areas a going over with some 800 wet and dry then red scotch padded the whole thing
gave the bare metal bits a coating of etch primer the started blasting it with high build white primer

still looks rough but I'm not going to keep arsing about with it, going to spray it with some satin black paint so its not just left in primer, take the bonnet pins off clean them back to metal, then when i get paid I'm going to get some Kevlar style vinyl wrap for it
hopefully it looks half decent when finished, and if not I'm going to take it back to metal let it rust, then clear coat it so it looks like i ment for it to be rough as a welsh bird
